Nominate your choice for Video Of The Year. Leave a link to the video in the comment section. The video must be original content - not a clip from television or movies. Mashups of commercial content *may* be considered...
There are 2 reasons I have for submitting this. First, 1 year after Katrina to the present, the Lower 9th ward is still not safe to rebuild in. The levee system is not even adequate for a Cat 3 whcih is rather common. My personal prediction is that the void will force the local population to sell out at fire sale (flood sale) prices just to make ends meet.
The second reason is that, in a land where the only news is what happened today, Scout Prime has tirelessly worked to keep this issue in the public eye.
I, too, second the nomination of "9th Ward - God is Watching Us" , which I am proud to have contributed a few dollars towards helping Scout in making. She is one of the few who untiringly keep this tragedy of government misfeasance in front of us.
I nominate VenetianPrincess's Mission: XBOX video. It is By far the most creative video on youtube.
Her husband plays XBOX all the time, so she ventures into her dangerous home to get to the xbox and see what is so great about it. She faces adroid vaccuums, cannon blowdryers, and blade blenders! lol

The video I nominated above has non original content so not sure what you would decide...my bad, I should have read more closely
However if I may nominate this one which is all original video I shot in New Orleans....9thWard--God Is Watching US

Let me just put an honorary mention, rather than a blogger-done video.
The David Zucker "Albright Ad". BRILLIANT STUFF!

9th Ward: "God is Watching Us"
It's a no brainer. There can be no other.

I nominate "9th Ward:God is Watching Us"
Posted by Grandmère Mimi | November 17, 2006 7:43 PM
9th Ward--God is Watching Us was filmed in March 2006.
Also to nominate would be an updated companion video:
"9th Ward--One Year Later --God is Watching Us"
This was filmed at the one year anniversary of Katrina. Again all original video. And it was made possible through donations of blog readers.
